This bug was fixed in the package user-setup - 1.109ubuntu1
---------------
user-setup (1.109ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2153368). Remaining changes:
- Add preseedable passwd/auto-login question; if set to true, configure
gdm, kdm, lxdm, sddm, and lightdm for automatic login. Add
passwd/auto-login-backup question which backs up the previous contents
of the files as well.
- Ask whether the user wants to encrypt their home directory.
- Allow forcing the encrypted home option.
- If a user requests an encrypted-home, we must have their login
passphrase, in order to wrap their mount passphrase; it's
fundamentally incompatible to preseed encrypted-home AND a crypted
password; if this happens, send the user back to password selection.
- Zero out swap devices at the end of install when encryption is
enabled.
- Provide a progress message for wiping swap space.
- If user-setup/allow-password-empty is preseeded to true, allow empty
passwords.
- Add weak password detection (purely length-based for now, matching
partman-crypto).
- Don't restrict guest login from login screen if autologin was
configured, just restrict autologin for guest specifically.
- If OVERRIDE_ALREADY_ENCRYPTED_SWAP is set in the environment, assume
that encrypted swap has already been set up rather than re-creating
and re-zeroing swap.
- reserved-usernames: Add maas to reserved-usernames
- user-setup-apply: user-setup-udeb.templates: Update initial user groups
- d/user-setup-udeb.templates: Default passwd/root-login to false
- functions.sh: Make is_system_user always return false if
OVERRIDE_SYSTEM_USER is set
- functions.sh: Consider a password of '!' in shadow for root to be unset
- user-setup-apply: Create the spu group on powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell
- user-setup-apply: Fix paths for GDM configs which are now in /etc/gdm3
- user-setup-apply: Fix sddm.conf paths when replacing PLACEHOLDER
- user-setup-ask: Lower priority of the encrypt home question
- user-setup-apply: Mount /proc before calling adduser --encrypt-home
- debian/po: keep translations as part of the package
- Add sgx group to reserved-usernames; udev.postinst (src:systemd) adds it
as a system group (LP #1990488).
- remove 'lxd' from user-default-groups and add 'users' instead,
it will let lxd default to unprivileged containers which is better
